Student Focus – Dance Eisteddfod
Yr 8 students Juliet Whelan, Belle Monty, Amelie Dewar, Liliana Halfen, Izzy Bannon, Lucy Goodsall, Charlotte Algar, and Mia Cruttenden performed in the Senior Jazz Performance Group 1, and achieved 1st place in the ‘Years 7-9 School Troupe Jazz’ section out of 15 entrants. They were absolutely wonderful on stage!
Additionally, Juliet Whelan, Abbie Korbel, Amarlie Wilson, and Evie Krallis performed in the Senior Ballet Performance Group, where they received Highly Commended in the ‘School Troupe Contemporary/Classical Dance’ section out of 24 entrants. Their improvement since the last competition was extremely evident, and displayed their hard work as a team.

Yr 12 Winter Woolies Appeal
As the temperature continues to drop, we are reminded of those who may not have the resources to stay cozy during the Winter season. But fear not, because together, we can make a difference and bring warmth to those in need.
As part of the Yr 12 ‘Give back’ initiative, the Winter Woollies’ Appeal, aims to collect and distribute warm clothing and blankets to individuals and families who may be facing the harsh realities of Winter.
Please raid your closets and share the warmth! Gather gently used or new coats, sweaters, scarves, gloves, and hats that you no longer need. Every piece you donate will help someone stay snug during the cold months ahead. Please bring all items down to the Student Services Centre foyer and place in the yellow bin, before the end of Week 9.
Your support and generosity is greatly appreciated.
